THE CONSTITUTIONAL CENTENARY.

The centenary of the adoption of the
Constitution of the United States will oc-
cur next month. Elaborate descriptions
of proposed celebration of the event to
occur at Philadelphia have been sent to
all parts of the country, and have been
generally published in the press. But
there seems to be little or no enthusiasm
on the subject, and, as national affair,
the proposed obseryances will be a fail
ure. Vast crowds are likely to be at
tracted from the immediate vicinity of
Philadelphia, but il will amount TO moth
ing more than local celebration. There
is no place more appropriate than Phila-
delphia for such n celebration. IL is the
Centennial city, whore the sessions OF the
Continental Congress were held, and
where Independence was declared. the
centennial celebration of independence
in 1876, in that city, was a grand and
successful affair. Why the commemora-
ton of the centenary of the constitution
is to be unsuccessful in an enlarged sense
can not we'll be explained Probably no
such effort has been made to procure
great attractions and an enlarged atten-
dance Perhaps the celebration of con
tenaries has been overdone Perhaps
the Constitution is so little like the
original document penued and ratified in
1887 that the amendments are regarded
as of greater importance than the instru-
ment itself, and that enthusiasm is so
diffused over the entirely of the com
pleted structure that it can not be con
centrated on any part of the work of
construction. In 1892 we may awe bet
ter luck with the fourth centenary of the
discovery of America

for the prince to accomplish, says the
journal, is to quit Bulgaria forthwith.
L. w. RUSSELL, NJ. p, who abandoned

powDERLY AND THE KNIGHTS.

There are growing sigus in opposition
to Mr.. Powderly among the knights Of
Labor. This feeling appeared to be for
midable previous to the Richmond con
yention last year, but it is far more so
now It is known that large number of
the delegates thus far elected to the Min
neapons convention, which is to meet in
October, are unfriendly to the Grand
Master Workman, and will vote 10 depose
him from the Office which he has so long
held, as chief executive head of the order.
Mr.. Powderly's arbitrary policy and his
hospitality 10 trades unions assemblies
within the order are alleged TO bs the
cause for the present vigorous uprising
against him. But this is probably only a
part of the explanation. For some time
past there have been two opposing fec
tious in the Knights Of Labor, Ono of
these has been in favor OF law and order,
while the othe-. made up OF socialists,
anarchists and other lawless clements, hes
made desperate efforts to get control of
the entire organization, or at least of the
assemblies to which they belong It is
doubtless this element, to a great extent,
that is now making the fight against Mr..
Powderly,
What the result will be can not now be
foretold. Present indications are that the
Minneapolis convention will be more
stormy than any previous one in the his
tory of the order, unless Mr. Powdarly
shall voluntarily resign his oHice, as he
has been reported willing to DO. It would
seem, however, that, Powderly or no Pow
derby, the two opposing factions can not
long work together in harmony, and that
a grand split in the vrder is impending
and Inevitable.

The FLOW of foreign gold to the Ameri-
can side of the Atlantic, some S5,000000
of which has already arrived or is on the
way, is not attributable to an excess of
exports over imports at this time. In
fact, the balance OF trade in merchandise
is against this country at present Ameri-
can railway securities are being sought
however, by foreign investors, which ac-
counts for the heavy gold shipments
from Paris, London and Berlin. As the
new cotton and wheat crops of this
country are soon to be available for ex-
port, il is not at all impossible that the
shipment of these staples may in short
time serve to continue the import of
gold begun by the sales of railroad
securities. AZ any rate, the chances of a
tight money market seem to be very re-
mote.

and foreign countries have resulted IN
net export of more than half-amillion
per annum during the past ten years, and
the circulation of bank notes has decreas-
ed by eight millions since 1877 Bank
credits have taken the place of both
The economizing practice of modern
times may be described thus: bank is
visited by customer, who deposits &C
ceptable security, and obtains an advance
from the bank - of what? Not moneys;
for the bank simply writes down so many
hundreds of pounds to the credit of the
borrower, who thereupon takes cheque-
book and writes out orders TO
persons having accounts with that
or other banks. The cheques are passed
through the clearing house, and at the
end of the day the bank has had to pay
little or no money, and hardly coin has
been passed in consequence of the trans
action. So bank deposits multiply, and
banks all over the country virtually sup
ply what is equal to new money by mere
engagement to pay money on demand.
This economizing of gold may be pushed
too far, but the effecs hitherto has been
to enable the country to spare gold in
stead of competing with foreign nations
for the new supply of the mines and,
that being so, the bi-metallist's assertion
that were money made abundant by the
use of silver as well as gold prices would
rise and producers would be restored TO
solvency, becomes doubtful. Auton1ati-
cally and, so to say, privately, the country
has Tended off the scarcity Of gold by
using bank cheques instead of gold.
What is to be gained by adding silver, if
the gold currency left to itself is ade
quatef
Further, it may well be insisted that
the seundness of our currency hitherto
has made this economy of gold possible.
In France, which tried bi-metallism for
several years, and still has the wreck of
that system, deposit banking did not de-
velop as it has developed in England dur
ing the last fifty years of a sound single
gold standard. The reason might not
have been solely the difference of cur
rencies, but the difference is always
worth notice High authorities on eco
nomical matters have doubted whether
England would remain the home of cap
ital or the clearing house for national
Indebtedness where the currency tamper-
ed with. It mey be stated as quite an
established axiom that the worse coun-
try's currency the more there is needed.
In Russia, which has the worst currency
of any great nation, there are too many
paper roubles. Even in France the sums
boarded by the people and in the Bank
of France are enormous. The greater
and wider the confidence in a currency,
the more effective will it be for use.
Diminish the confidence of creditors in
the soundHess of the currency in which
they are paid, and contradiction of
credit will be the consequent tendency.
Governments can say to peoples: Here
is unlimited silver, which you may use in
place of gold" but people needs quality
first in matters of currency and quality
afterwards. We might almost go further,
and lay it down that, given currency
of good quality, there is little need for
concern about quantity. Experience in
England has been that good currency
can be stretched indefinitely.

There is curious story told in regard
to 2. +. Hathaway, Esq proprietor Of
the extensive shirt works in Waterville.
Mr., Hathaway, it seems, wears no buttons
on his coats except those absolutely
necessary to keep them together This
eccentricity is thus accounted for: Mr.
Hathaway one day met one of his opera
tivos, girl OF about Is, decked out in
furbelows and various bright eolored rib
bons. Noticing a particularly fascinat-
ing bow on her hair, Mr.. Hathaway said
What % you wear that fors Does Il
make you look or feel any better"
The girl gently replied: sWhat makes
you wear buttons on the back OF your
coatfs
The justice of the criticism struck Mr..
Hathaway so torcioly that he has never
allowed his tailor. since then, ia make him
anything but hutt0nless coat tails.

BINETALISM
The Subject Viewed from an English stand
point.
London News

London News
The reason Why bi-metallism has found
so many adherenfs during the last few
years is undoubtedly connected with the
fall of prices. Bimetallists say, If we
can't prevent large supply of foreign
produce and commodities, AT least We can
make money abundant enough to neutral
lie the crushing effect of those supplies
on the markets" But that is not certain.
Any one who has paid attention to the
facts of business during the last ten years
ia this country will have noted the ok
traordinary extent to which money has
been economical by substitutes for
money. 1t is not too much to say that
effective money is more abundant than
ever in England, although the supply of
gold has diminished greatly during the
past ten or eleven years. 4 striking set
of statistic is published in the Bankers
Magazine this month showing first the
greatly diminished net imports of gold
during the last ten years; secondly, the
diminished use of bank-nOtes; and third
Nv. the immense extension of the use of
bank credit Ii. e., chequesl, which has
been the means of economiZing currency
ia these days. Three parts Of the
amounts now paid are paid by orders on
the banks, and by far the largest part Of
the currency is in cheques. Cheques are
not money, only orders 70 pay moneys
